* Addressing the reasons for closure: The national organization will require a thorough demonstration that the issues leading to the closure have been completely resolved. This might involve significant changes in membership, leadership, and chapter operations. This could include things like improved risk management, hazing prevention programs, academic improvements, financial stability, and adherence to the national organization's rules and bylaws.
* A detailed plan for improvement: The former chapter will need to submit a comprehensive plan outlining how they will prevent recurrence of the problems that led to the closure. This plan will be rigorously reviewed by the national organization.
* Meeting specific requirements: The national organization will likely have a set of specific requirements that must be met before reinstatement is considered, these could include things like minimum membership numbers, securing a suitable chapter house (if applicable), and demonstrating financial solvency.
* A probationary period: Even if reinstated, the chapter will likely be placed on probation for a period of time, during which their progress will be closely monitored.
* Approval from the national organization: Ultimately, reinstatement is at the sole discretion of the national fraternity organization. There's no guarantee of reinstatement, even if all the above steps are taken.
In short, reinstatement is possible but far from assured. It requires a significant commitment from the individuals involved and a demonstrable commitment to change.
